Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 1091: Magic Treasure Reward (2)

Editor: Henyee Translations

This was the technique of a Sage.

…

Early in the morning, a wisp of golden light illuminated the entire Huaishan Prefecture. The dazzling Golden Crow flames condensed into the Great Sun True Flame and flattened the yin and demonic energy accumulated on the ground at night. The wandering ghosts did not dare to come out during the day. Some greater demons were not willing to be exposed to the sunlight mainly because they were afraid of the Golden Crow flames.

Xin Xiang sat cross-legged in the courtyard and breathed in the aura of heaven and earth. This girl had Shen Ping to help her improve her physique. After several years of cultivation, she already had some of the temperament of a Daoist master. Her skin, bones, and face had even changed. Even the clothes of a maidservant could not hide her pearl-like face.

“Not bad. In another ten years or so, you will become a Daoist Perfected Lord and be able to slay demons!”

The Perfected Ones of the Daoist lineage had more methods than the Perfected Lords of the incense gods. For example, they could cast beans into soldiers, control talismans into swords, fire and lightning of the five elements, and so on.

Xin Xiang opened her eyes and looked happy to see Shen Ping. “Young Master, don’t praise Xiang’er. Hehe, are you still going to the teahouse today?”

Shen Ping waved his hand. “No, I’m going to the Ze River to fish today.”

“All right, Xiang’er will get ready now.”

When Xin Xiang went back to the room to get her things, he activated his counterattack mission.

[The City God’s Nether Division was attacked by a dark power. The City God’s statue shattered. Please find this dark power within 20 years and destroy it.]

[Mission reward: Infinite Universe Ring.]

His eyes lit up. The Dharma treasure rewarded this time was actually the Infinite Universe Ring. Unfortunately, looking at the situation of the mission, it was probably another hundred years or two hundred years later. He could not find it at all. However, this dark power might be the same as the Yin Demonic Spring. The Black Demon Seed in the Three Yin Earth Vein was a faction, but he could not touch it yet. He could only give up and wait.

After packing up, Shen Ping told the servant to prepare a carriage and rode it to the Zejiang Dragon God Temple in the southeast of the prefecture capital.

In Third Madame’s courtyard, someone immediately reported Shen Ping’s whereabouts.

“Looks like he went fishing in the Ze River. This guy is really carefree. He’s not worried about his coming-of-age ceremony in two years.” The Third Madame’s face was cold as she whispered a few orders.

It was almost noon. Not far from the Dragon God Temple, Shen Ping sat comfortably by the river. There were grapes and fruits personally fed by Xin Xiang. Not far away, there was a servant in charge of raiding the nest and net. The scenery on both sides of the river was beautiful, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful.

It’s a very comfortable day indeed.

In recent years, the weather in Huaishan Prefecture has been good. Especially with his secret help, his father had nothing to do. After all, be it Huaishan, Huaishui, Ze River, or the demons and evil spirits in various counties and towns, they had all been eliminated by him. The rest were just small fries. They could be dealt with at the county level.

After a while, a playful sound came from the upper reaches of the river. Xin Xiang looked over. It was actually more than ten girls playing in the calm pool by the river. Their clothes were still on the shore, and they were only wearing undergarments. They were incomparably beautiful. She snorted. “Shame on them, bathing here in the middle of the day. Young Master, they’re probably trying to seduce you.”

Shen Ping took a glance and retracted his gaze. How could he be seduced? But no matter what, the playful sounds became louder and louder. A few girls with good swimming skills actually entered the river. Their fair and graceful curves appeared and disappeared, causing the servants to stare.

Xin Xiang wanted to chase them away, but Shen Ping stopped her. At noon, the waves of the river surged, and a few girls were washed away by the waves. They shouted for help. Shen Ping did not even look at it and directly asked the Dragon God to send out shrimp soldiers and crab generals to guide the water. It was obvious that these girls did it on purpose.

Indeed, in the afternoon, after returning to the residence, there were rumors that Young Master Ping was fishing by the river and peeping at innocent women bathing. He even bullied them and made them perform in front of him. In the end, they almost drowned.

Needless to say, it was definitely Third Madame’s method. She could not cause substantial harm, but she could indeed disgust people.

Shen Ping ignored them, but the next day, he went to the clan’s academy and taught his cousin a lesson. He beat him until his face was swollen, saying that he was just teaching his cousin martial arts. His martial arts was praised repeatedly by even his instructor. There was really nothing wrong with his words.

The Third Madame could only secretly hate him. She gritted her teeth and swallowed this anger. The bitter Huai Lian whimpered, “Mother, don’t go against Huai Ping. He will bully me!”

The Third Madame glared at him. “What do you know? The coming of age ceremony is in two years. At that time, it will be difficult for you to fight for the position of Perfected Lord Huaishan.”

Huai Lian could not help but say, “I don’t care about this position.”

After saying that, he was beaten up.His injuries increased.

Another year passed. During this period, the Third Madame kept making small moves, but unfortunately, she could not do anything to Shen Ping. In addition, Perfected Lord Huaishan had been in the residence recently, so she did not dare to do anything else.

Snowflakes fell. Shen Ping, who had long become a Daoist Perfected Lord, sat cross-legged on the snowy peak of Huai Mountain and cultivated the Nuwa Visualization Painting. When the purple clouds rose in the east, he ended his cultivation and used up his energy to simulate.

There’s not much change. These simulations were usually big events or things with far-reaching impact. Some small matters were not displayed, which meant that there were variables. When he saw the carriages on the street, he could not help but feel curious.

“It’s the imperial court’s Princess Jinzhen.”

“What is Princess Jinzhen doing in Huaishan?”

“Princess Jinzhen was going to the fief of Jinzhou Prefecture and passed by Huaishan Prefecture, so she specially came to visit. Some time ago, she stayed at Huaiyang Prefecture for a few days.”

Hearing Madame Qing Yan’s words, Shen Ping came to a realization. Although the Imperial Court’s control of the land had decreased, it still had some prestige. After all, it held the authority to confer titles and represented the Heavenly Court. As long as the Heavenly Court was still around, even without an order, the Daoist, Buddhist, and military families of the Nine Provinces did not dare to openly go against the Imperial Court.

Therefore, when Princess Jinzhen arrived, they had to show her respect.

“This princess is really good-looking,” Madame Qing Yan praised.

Shen Ping pursed his lips. What did she mean? Could it be that she wanted to matchmake him with the princess? Currently, there were a total of seven princesses conferred by the Emperor of the Imperial Court. Those who were favored were all in the capital. Since this Princess Jinzhen wanted to go to the fief, she had most likely offended the Emperor. He did not join in the fun. Instead, he used his true soul power to scan the area.

Tsk, tsk. She was pretty and even had a delicate and unruly aura, like a little chili. It’s just that her breasts aren’t big. From her physiognomy, the door should not be grass-colored. She was born to be a jinx.

Not long after, Perfected Lord Huaishan came, “Ping’er, Princess Jinzhen is going to the Jinzhou Prefecture the day after tomorrow. You can accompany her on the way. You can also go out to train. There will be elders in the clan protecting you.”

Shen Ping shook his head. “The world is not safe now. There are demons everywhere outside. It’s too dangerous to go out.”

Perfected Lord Huaishan frowned, “There’s the protection of the elders, and as long as you are in the territory of Huaishan and Jinzhou, you will not be harmed even if there is danger. You grew up in Huaishan Prefecture and have never gone out. How can you take on the position of Perfected Lord in the future? This matter has been agreed upon by the clan.”

Shen Ping shrugged and nodded in agreement. In any case, he had nothing to do in Huaishan Prefecture. Moreover, he had to wait for the twenty-year mission period to end before he could start the next mission. If he left Huaishan Prefecture, he could take the opportunity to relax and see if there were other Yin Demonic Springs.

Of course, most importantly, he also wanted to see the scenery everywhere. In the past, every time he went to a palace world, he would travel the world.

The day after, the princess set off in her carriage. Shen Ping sat in his carriage and followed the carriage. He did not have the chance to see this princess. To put it bluntly, he just made up for the number and let the princess know that she was accompanied by a Spiritual Master. It was also to show that Huaishan Prefecture valued her.

Xin Xiang sat beside him. After a while, she took off her bra and let Shen Ping drink milk to accumulate energy. She was already used to it after so many years. “In another six months, the young master will be able to taste my other flavors.”
